Mortal Kombat X News and Updates

Injustice 2 already revealed to have several Mortal Kombat Easter Eggs, which were discovered since it's release last year. Now we have yet another Easter Egg that was found, courtesy of your's truly.

If you look at the far left corner of the Joker's Playground stage in IJ2, you will see that there is a doll sitting there, with it's head stuck in a cavity in it's chest. That is a direct reference to Goro's Peek-A-Boo Fatality in Mortal Kombat XL.

Here is a video from my YouTube channel, showing the Easter Egg. Enjoy.

As you probably noticed by now, E3 this year is almost over, yet there was no sign of any kind to a new Mortal Kombat game from NetherRealm Studios. By the usual pattern, NRS release a new game every two years, with a new game from each franchise, Mortal Kombat and Injustice, every 4 years, which included so both Mortal Kombat 9 (2011) and Mortal Kombat X along with their complete updated iterations, Mortal Kombat (2011): Komplete Edition and Mortal Kombat XL. Yet there is no sign that shows any indication that a new Mortal Kombat is in the works for a release in 2019.

Well, now the reason has been revealed: The cycle of the 2 year pattern has been broken.

MK Co-Creator and had of NRS Ed Boon was interviewed for Giant Bomb along with several other developers, and at the beginning of the interview, Boon officially confirmed that there is indeed nothing in the works from NRS at the moment. The reason for that is NRS, along with Warner Bros Games, have decided to break the cycle, and according to Boon, too many people have been following this pattern. Boon said also that he wish he could've announce something, but there is nothing in the works for now.

You can see the whole interview here:

This marks the first time that the time length between 2 MK games is more then 4 years, which is the longest time yet. That is of course, unless NRS show anything in the very near future and all of this is just one big swerve for a planned shocker.

So yes, there is no new Mortal Kombat game at the moment. We will have to wait and see what will happen and when it will happen. And in the meantime, we can all still enjoy Mortal Kombat XL.

After nearly 3 years since Mortal Kombat XL has been released, MK Co-Creator and head of NetherRealm Studios Ed Boon is on Twitter yet again, starting the hype for the next chapter in the iconic Mortal Kombat franchise. He sent this this Tweet, showing a street sign with title "Emperor Quang Trung", obviously a clear hint at the sorcerers Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, two of the most prominent antagonists of the series who were also the co-bosses of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, as well as the term "Emperor" which can refer to any of the Outworld emperors: Onaga the Dragon King, Shao Kahn, Mileena and Kotal Kahn.

One can only wonder what that title really leads to, and what will be the direction of the story for MK11. Only time will tell, but until then, all aboard the Mortal Kombat 11 hype train!

As you probably know, in Mortal Kombat XL there is a mode in the Factions System Section called the War Tower, a special Living Tower that the Faction Champions of that week can add to, up to 7 matches after the Test Your Might stage, making it a 10-Match Tower at Max. However, ever since MKX was released, it was extremely rare to see the War Tower get to a high amount of matches, let alone to the final match, if it ever happened at all, until now.

Over the last two weeks, the Faction War has gone to insane heights, was the Tower has reached to 8 matches a couple of weeks ago, and then, and probably for the first time ever, it has reached it's max of 10 matches, as you can see in the 2 videos below from my YouTube channel.

First an 8-Match War Tower:

And then a 10-Match War Tower:

And then this week, as the White Lotus Society, the Faction that yours truly is a part of, has become the Faction Champion, yours truly and the rest of the White Lotus build the whole War Tower for the rest of the Factions, and it turns out that after building the 10th match (or 7th, depending on how you look at it), there is yet another extra match that is exclusive to the Faction Champions to gain more War Points, as you can see in this video below, again from my channel.

It's indeed very interesting to see that after 2 and half years since MKX was released, there are still things being discovered in it, and it only shows how die and rich can the content in NetherRealm Studios Games can be, both in Mortal Kombat and Injustice. Will this extra match at the end of the War Tower for the Faction Champion become more common now? We will see.
